About this role
NextGen Security is looking for a Senior Service Technician to handle the full lifecycle of enterprise security systems—from field installation and programming through commissioning and ongoing maintenance. You'd work on access control, intrusion detection, and video management systems at commercial and industrial sites, with some local travel and occasional work in specialized environments like chemical plants. The role demands both technical depth and client-facing professionalism, as you'll manage projects independently while coordinating with management and customers.

You should be comfortable troubleshooting complex systems, climbing heights, operating bucket trucks, and working safely in regulated industrial settings. Vendor certifications in platforms like Genetec, Software House, or Lenel are valued, as is networking and IT knowledge, though not required to apply.
NextGen offers a company vehicle, full benefits, vacation, and a cell phone allowance, with compensation scaled to your experience. This is a contract position based in Dallas, Texas, working in-office. The company emphasizes hiring seasoned professionals and has a management team with 10–25 years of industry expertise.
